    THE AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARDS NEW MEXICO Saturday, February 29, 2020 Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown American Advertising Federation New Mexico | American Advertising Awards 2020 | View winners on YOUTUBE: AAFNM 2020 ADDYS 1 GRACIOUS THANK YOU TO 2600 Louisiana Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The American Advertising Awards committee is always challenged with developing a theme for the show. There’s a few that almost all clubs have run through – a specific decade, masquerade, circus,Mad Men, The Wizard of Oz, etc. This year’s committee got double dipped. How do you pick an amazing theme while honoring the past, celebrating the club’s 60th anniversary? Inspired by the year 2020, this year’s theme centers around hindsight. See what we did there? The adage that hindsight is 2020 may be cliché, but it’s true. We’re gathered here tonight because we have consistently learned from and have been inspired by those that came before us. Our former leaders had a vision for this club, this community, this industry that have led us this far. We continually learn from great leaders, tremendous local agencies, brilliant marketing minds and clever creative innovators. AAF New Mexico thrives by connecting the past to the future with programs that honor past Silver Medal winners, professionals currently in the field and students just starting their journey. We’re thrilled to recognize the achievement of our collective history while we celebrate another great year of outstanding creative work. May the individuals and work showcased here tonight be celebrated in another 60 years! Cheers, Elizabeth Also, a special thank you to our sponsors.

    ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XV, No.l February 1993 THE WORLD OF THE BAMA Aboriginal-European Relations in the Cairns Rainforest Region to 1876 by Timothy Bottoms (All Rights Reserved) Presented to the Society as an Audio-Visual Program 10th August 1991 The world of the Djabugay-Yidiny [Jabuguy-Yidin] speaking people occupied what is now called the Cairns rainforest region. Their term for themselves is BAMA [Bum-ah] — meaning 'people'. To the south are Dyirbal [Jirrbal] speaking tribes who are linguistically different from their northern Yidiny-speakers, as German is to French. There appears to have been quite a deal of animosity' between these linguistically different neighbours. To the north are the Kuku-Yalanji [Kookoo Ya-lan-ji] who seem to have a great deal more in common with their southern Djabugay- speaking neighbours. In the northern half of the Cairns rainforest region are the Djabugay-speaking tribal groupings; the Djabuganydji [Jabu-ganji], the Nyagali [Na-kali], the Guluy [Koo-lie], the Buluwanydji [Bull-a- wan-ji], and on the coastal strip, the Yirrganydji [Yirr-gan-ji].^ The clans within each tribal grouping spoke dialects of Djabugay — so that, although there were differences, they were mutually understandable.^ The southern half of the Cairns rainforest region is home to the linguistically related Yidiny-speaking people. Fifty- three percent of the Yidiny lexicon is derived from Djabugay." However in the same fashion as the Djabugay-speakers — each clan, and there are many in each tribe,^ considered itself an entity in its own right, despite the linguistic affinities. The tribes who spoke Yidiny-related dialects were the Gungganydji [Kung-gan-ji], the Yidinydji [Yidin-ji], the Madjanydji [Mad-jan-ji], and Wanjuru.

SYNOPSIS Based on a true story: DANGER CLOSE begins with Major Harry Smith [Travis Fimmel], the strict and highly motivated commander of Delta Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, on operation in Nui Dat, Phuoc Tuy Province, Vietnam. Delta Company is made up four platoons; 10, 11 and 12 platoons and a Company HQ, a total of 108 men. Harry is a career officer and he has no time to ‘coddle’ or befriend the men in his company. He feels that ‘babysitting’ these young men - half of which are conscripts - is beneath his special forces skills and previous combat experience. But with a point to prove, Harry is keen to show what his men, and importantly, he can do to make the best of a harrowing situation.

See http://www.iimhl.com/.

IIMHL organises systems for international innovation sharing, networking and problem solving across countries and agencies. The overall aim is to provide better outcomes for people who use mental health and addiction services and their families. The Cairns Match is the primary Indigenous Leadership Exchange in Australia (the Indigenous Exchange) and was attended by Australian, Canadian and New Zealand Indigenous leaders and experts in mental health and suicide prevention. The Indigenous Exchange theme was ‘Healing and Empowerment: Indigenous Leadership in Suicide Prevention’. It was co-hosted by the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Leadership in Mental Health and the Commission in partnership with Department of Health. Acknowledgements The Indigenous Exchange hosts and participants acknowledge Traditional Owners from across Australia. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We thank Aunty Jeanette Singleton for her Welcome to the Lands of the Yirrganydji and to the Elders and peoples of Yirrganydji, Djabugay and Gunggandji for also welcoming us and sharing their cultural knowledges through the Indigenous Exchange.
